Nigeria’s Dry-Wet Season’s Produce: February/March
The first rains have begun, jerking me out of my bed in the wee hours of a Saturday morning. Windows are hurriedly shut while thunder pounds the skies with no desire to let up. This is Nigeria. And the rains are almost always knocking at the door. I’m not opposed for the rains bring goodness, by the […]
Green Pawpaw (Papaya) Salad
I love the very idea of combining fruit and savoury flavours, especially in the way Asian cuisine knows how. I’ve watched Luke Nguyen cook with ingredients that are tropical and easy to find in Nigeria. But cook with them in a way so different, so foreign and appealing in that way ‘exotic’ cuisine is.
Nigeria’s Dry Season’s Produce: January/February
Some day soon, I’ll have a record that’s complete. I’ll know exactly when to lie in wait for mangoes, buy the best pineapples and feast on Ube, with corn. This is the start of that catalogue.

See What Heaven Sent….
Good evening, America. Looked what heaven sent, right before Christmas.
Friends For Food
FFF was what we called some friends back in high school. OK, so what if where I went to school, it wasn’t called High school but secondary school? High school sounds much cooler. Friends for Food. FFF. It does have a ring to it, kind of like BFF. I’ve been swamped with work. At home. […]
Ssam Bar, New York
How do you demonstrate a love for pork? Well, you dedicate a portion of your deep freezer to bacon and pork butts, if you are a home cook. And should you be a chef, a devotee to porcine land, you open a restaurant like David Chang or head a cabane à sucre like Montreal chef, […]
